Re: [esperanza] how do you say someone is going blind in Spanish?

I would have interpreted “quedarse ciego” as “to have become blind”. How would you distinguish “He is going blind [losing his sight]” from “He has gone blind”? I would equate “Se quedó ciego” with the latter but not the former.

Bienvenidos a todos. La expression. 'quedarse ciego', means- (esta ciego), which denote it already happen. Going blind means a process of different levels of vision, but (not final). Depending on the Spanish Heritage the expressions would be. 1- se esta quedando ciego. 2- esta perdiendo la vista. 3- no puede ver bien. Remember, the English ( ing) in Spanish is, ( endo - ando), which is grammatically called in Spanish, 'presente continuado'.
